from Vancouver Date Reviewed: December 16, 2001 Strengths: great travel, solid, very plush, dont even know its there half the time. Best freeride forks on the market. If you want a great overall freeride fork with plenty of travel that are fairly light, buy these forks. Weaknesses: WARNING: Apparently in 2001 Marzocchi thought it would be a good idea to change the Z1 product design a little from previous years. Bad Idea! I didnt even think twice when I removed the brake bosses. Dont try this at home because in the 2001 model they hold the whole fork together. Removing them caused the fork to separate and I had to take it in to a shop to have the seals replaced and the shocks overhauled. I have no idea whos decision at Marzocchi this was but why make such a drastic change such a great product? And dont tell me that I should have known better because in the span of 24hrs, three other people had came into the same shop with the same problem. I guess Marzocchi will make more money selling seal replacement kits this year. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Duration Product Used: 6 months Similar Products Used: why bother, none other compare! Bike Setup: Norco 2001 VPS Launch with Z1 QR20+ forks

from Waterloo, Ontario, CANADA Date Reviewed: December 4, 2001 Strengths: Takes those big hits and keeps you on two wheels when your totally out of control, travel seems bottomless, QR 20 stiffens things up nicely, the compression and rebound adjustors work great Weaknesses: I twisted the fork a bit doing a huge endo, i still ride it but it kinda bugs me, forks are soooo expensive (but worth it) Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: hydrocut network Duration Product Used: 1 Year Price Paid: $400.00 Purchased At: brauns Similar Products Used: Other marzocchi single crowns Bike Setup: KONA stinky with hayes hydros, 2.1 tires, sun ryhno lites, hussefelt crank, xt drive, fox vanilla R shock

from Dundas, Ontario, Canada Date Reviewed: October 18, 2001 Strengths: The sign of a good product is when it disappears beneath you when riding it. I never have to wonder how the fork will handle a certain situation, and that's a huge confidence boost. QR20 axle tracks accurately, like my Girvin Crosslink. This fork still lets me climb as well as before, and even helps in some uphill situations. Weaknesses: No compression damping control - SSV only. The rebound damping seems occasionally inconsistent. A seal at the arch/slider junction was faulty from the factory, and it barfed oil on my disc-brake side. I had to clean the rotor with rubbing alcohol and use a lighter to burn oil off the pads. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Whatever lets me get creative Duration Product Used: 3 months Purchased At: Freewheel Cycle - one of Canada's top 10 shops Similar Products Used: None - first long-travel fork Bike Setup: Brodie Diablo frame, built it up myself with Avid mech discs, Avid ultimate levers, RaceFace headset, bar, cranks, BB, post, Mavic F519 rims, XT/LX/Sachs drivetrain, Nokian 2.3 DH, Vanilla RC shock
